Yeah, I know the Mookie video gets overused… but what he says here is absolute gold. Some of the best info on social media, period. Mookie shows how going back lets the lat pull the top arm. In a game, when he lets that move flow into the ground, the chain fires correctly: ground → pelvis → torso/lat → hands. That’s why the barrel turns from the middle instead of being pushed. Trevor Bauer explains the same thing on the mound: rotation pulls the lat, the arm just whips through. Swing or throw it’s the same principle. Stay connected, let rotation compress into landing, and the sequence works. Cut it off, and you’re just pushing. And here’s the truth: Once you understand this connection as a parent or coach, you can’t mess a kid up it’s how the body naturally moves around center mass. The mistake comes from listening to people who’ve never taken health or fitness seriously. If they don’t understand how the body sequences, they’ll lead you down the wrong road. This isn’t a “method.” It’s just how the body works. And the barrel path? It’s not something you force behind center it happens because the sequence is right.

I want parents to really think about this. Imagine paying good money for lessons because you care about your daughter’s long-term development… and the first thing you’re told is that “swinging down isn’t correct.” Instead it’s barrel depth, elite path, and swinging up because “that’s what the pros do.” That’s where development goes backwards. Most young athletes aren’t broken they’re underdeveloped in movement. They don’t understand shoulder angles, how to get on top of the ball, situational hitting, or how the body actually organizes a swing. That’s not their fault. That’s instruction skipping steps. In my cage, athletes do not swing up first. They have to earn the right to swing up by first owning the down. We stay at the top of the zone, learn how to find the down, and teach how the shoulders orient the swing. The up isn’t cued or forced it’s a byproduct of correct movement. What floors me is how often kids, especially in softball, are taught to swing up immediately. How do you start middle-down and swing up in a sport where the ball is traveling on an upward plane? It makes no sense. Baseball and softball mechanics are the same the body doesn’t change. But instruction must start differently because pitch plane is different. Baseball breaks down. Softball rise spins up. If a softball hitter can’t control the down out front, they’ll never handle elite rise. Once control is there, the femur turns down, the torso gets pulled up, and the natural up shows itself. No forcing. No manipulation. I can post videos like this all day. I’m not teaching a “style.” I’m teaching how the body is designed to move. I’m demanding because parents invest real time and money, and I won’t waste either. If you want game swings that hold up to velocity and plane find the down!

The Hollingsworths Emma Hollingsworth Lyla Hollingsworth came down from Massachusetts today. A big part of our lesson was learning front-side compression how the front leg and hip stabilize so the body can rotate up against it into contact. Too many hitters think forward momentum is “bad,” but it’s not. Moving forward is necessary, the key is keeping the body connected as it moves. We worked on using the rear lat and back side to pull back and stay connected to the front side. This keeps the body together instead of pushing forward. Through resistance band and towel drills, they learned the feel of: •Holding strong direction through the front side, •Allowing the pelvis to pull the rear leg through, •Creating whip of the barrel against the front side and through extension.

Bryson didn’t “learn how to release the club.” He felt the club get thrown. That’s the difference. The club didn’t move because of his hands. It moved because his body finally sequenced correctly and then decelerated. That’s what creates the release. Same exact thing in hitting. You don’t release the barrel with your hands. You don’t “snap” anything. The barrel gets thrown when the backside works under and the front side wins the collision. That’s the throw. If you have to think about releasing it you already missed it.

College coaches aren't watching your kid's batting average they're watching THIS They're watching how she moves. How she loads, controls her body, and works through the ball. Not just swinging moving well under pressure. Recruiting isn't about stats at 12U. It's about movement.The best movers = less to fix in college. The kid hitting .500 because she's bigger? She won't last when velocity and game speed pick up. Movement translates. Results fade. Parents stop worrying about other kids. Stop chasing hits. Stop obsessing over averages. "Home Town Hero Parents" bragging about 11U stats? It doesn't help your kid. Focus on development. Teach them to move well and handle failure. Strike out? Celebrate the movement. Error? Celebrate the rebound. Drills matter. Purpose matters. Ally's working on center mass drills to control the zone. Every rep has a movement purpose. We don't copy social media. We train movement that translates. She's also learning to connect swing to throw, whipping the barrel into a top-hand release. Follow the throw. Whip the shit out of the barrel. Movement first. Mindset second. Hits will come naturally. PVS Baseball

Since 2020, the athletes I’ve trained have earned 32 college scholarships, including some of the biggest programs in the country. One player I helped completely rework her movement went on to become the 2022 ACC Player of the Year. What makes it special is that I’m not connected to any organization, and I don’t have hundreds of athletes cycling through. My training happens in a Little League cage, no tech, no Rapsodo, no bat speed sensors. Everything I teach comes down to one thing: learning how to move from the center out. Five years ago, I realized we were training like everyone else chasing one swing method, one path and all my hitters started to look the same. I knew something was missing. That’s when I dove into movement science, retrained my own body, and discovered that real development doesn’t come from mechanics or cookie-cutter paths. I’ve never been one to settle. Today, I have a few trusted mentors across the country whom I speak with daily about movement and hitting, and I’ve spent significant time learning from them. Most parents and coaches think the next “best drill” will fix a player’s swing. What they don’t understand is that a tool starting in the hands cannot fix the swing. Real development starts from the middle out controlling center mass first. Start at the hands or barrel, and you fight the body’s natural movement. The swing doesn’t happen overnight. Consistency and true swing change come from years of learning how to move properly. When athletes get strong, develop great habits, and understand how to control their center, development skyrockets. Stay patient. Stay consistent. Prioritize movement over results. The swing is built on movement, not mechanics. Control your center, and the rest of the body follows. Adjustability, power, and consistency all start here. At the end of the day, I don’t care what a swing looks like I care how the body moves. Every athlete who trains here learns to control their center, adapt to every pitch, and build a swing that works naturally. Control your center. Control your swing. Be the best version of yourself.

REAL HITTERS. REAL MOVEMENT. REAL TEACHING. 1/ Will Clark — Bottom Hand + Shoulder Angle = The Down Comes First Clark explains the bottom arm works with the shoulders on the down. That’s posture. That’s angle. That’s barrel organization. • High tire / high tee • The down organizes the up • Movement creates path Not cues movement. 2/ Mookie Betts — Shoulders Stay Above the Ball Mookie explains keeping the shoulders above the ball is what lets the rear elbow match plane. • Shoulders set the plane • Rear elbow gets on plane through posture • High-tire work reinforces it Not “turn the barrel early.” Movement creates plane → plane creates path. 3/ Will Clark (Again) — Dusty Baker: “Take Your Rear Hip to the Ball” That’s femur action: down → in → under. Same pattern as the throw. No spinning. No artificial torque. Just human movement sequencing. 4/ Jeff Kent — Oppo Walk-Throughs Reveal Direction Kent wasn’t doing a gimmick. He was showing pure direction under momentum: • posture stable • direction honest • top-hand release real • body organized Elite hitters move with direction, not against it. 5/ Nolan Arenado — Nose Down, Eye Down, Torso Completing Arenado is positional integrity: • nose down through contact • backside eye down the line • shoulders matching pitch plane • torso completing around center mass • rear hip + rear elbow staying connected He’s not repeating a swing he’s repeating movement sequencing. 6/ Mike Trout — Top-Hand Release Into Dab Finish Low pitch = top-hand dab by the ear because his body created the natural up. Not tilt. Not manipulation. The sequence finishes itself. 7/ Shohei Ohtani — The Clearest Example of Force Coupling on Earth Ohtani is biomechanics in HD: • pelvis gaining ground • torso stacking over front side • rear glute throwing the body forward • rear knee turning down → in → under • rear lat anchoring the hands • backside crashing into a braced front side That collision IS force coupling. It transfers all the stored energy into the ball. No leaks. No wasted power. Power comes from movement, not cues. The body creates the swing the swing never creates the body. 8/ Adrian Beltre — Knee Down, Femur Action, True Natural Up Beltre on a low pitch is a biomechanics lecture: • knee works down • femur turns down → up • torso turns deeper behind the ball • rear hip + torso stay connected • lift comes from turning UNDER and BEHIND the pitch No fake tilt. No dragging. No hand manipulation. Natural lift is a movement outcome, not a cue. 9/ Alex Bregman — The Miss Tells the Truth On a miss he still shows elite control: • heel-to-toe • back shoulder to cheek • rear foot stable • torso stacked • posture balanced If a hitter can control chaos, the movement is real. 10/ Frank Thomas — Top-Hand Release + Back-Foot Release Direction and posture decide release. Not cues. Not drills. Just pure human movement. THE TRUTH THE INDUSTRY IGNORES Everything hitters need is right in front of them if you study movement not just the swing. The swing is the final 30%. The other 70% is: • shoulder angles • femur action • ground-force anticipation • center-mass control • torso completion • force coupling • front-side bracing • rear-lat anchoring That’s the REAL engine of elite hitting. Most instructors: ✓ study the swing ✗ ignore the movement So they miss: • how the down organizes the up • how posture sets plane • how the femur organizes direction • how the pelvis gains ground • how the torso completes • how force coupling transfers energy • how adjustability is created If you don’t study movement, you will never understand hitting.

Everything the HLP clan teaches collapses the second you understand actual human movement. This video of Aaron Judge exposes every lie they’ve sold for years. Here’s the full MYTH vs TRUTH breakdown based on biomechanics, not backward pseudoscience. They say “video doesn’t lie,” yet their interpretations do because pseudoscience always comes from misunderstanding what you’re looking at. 👇 Thread: 1/ MYTH: Judge “switches” from a proximal→distal mover in training to an HLP pattern in games. TRUTH: Movement patterns don’t change. Judge moves the SAME way in throwing, sprinting, lifting, & hitting. The task changes the pattern doesn’t. 2/ MYTH: Judge creates tilt by snapping backward over the rear hip. TRUTH: Tilt = head position at foot strike. His nose is behind his bellybutton → natural tilt from posture, not a rearward snap. Average hitters MUST land more centered. Levers matter. 3/ MYTH: Depth comes from turning the barrel back behind you. TRUTH: Depth comes from the lat holding the hands while the pelvis eliminates slack. Same pattern as the throw. The BODY creates depth not a backward barrel turn. 🔍 They claim they “study swings” and “video doesn’t lie.” But they have NO understanding of how the movement BEFORE the swing shapes posture, shoulder angles, and the entire position of the body at foot down. They only see the swing never the movement that creates the swing. 4/ MYTH: Hip–shoulder separation is slow & outdated. HLP is “faster.” TRUTH: They only think separation is slow because they don’t understand what creates it. They can’t see how the pelvis gaining ground pulls the entire system together. 5/ REAL separation happens when: • pelvis gains ground • slack disappears • distal leg anticipates force • torso resists • rear lat anchors the hands • elastic energy loads THROUGH the chain This is the FASTEST pattern a human body can produce. 6/ The “slow separation” they’re critiquing is the FAKE one they teach: Land → stop → freeze → twist into a pose → restart the swing. That IS slow. Real separation is a byproduct of correct sequencing not a drill. 7/ And their claim that HLP is “superior”? Any movement specialist can see through it instantly: No pelvis lead. No proximal→distal sequencing. No force coupling. No front-side anchor. No adjustability. Just compensation. 8/ MYTH: The front leg is just where weight lands. TRUTH: The front side is the guide hand of the swing. It braces, anchors, steers, and PULLS the backside under through force coupling. This is why the back foot releases forward collision, not collapse. 9/ MYTH: “Tilt first, then turn.” TRUTH: Tilt is a downstream RESULT of: • pelvis eliminating slack • knee pulling under • torso organizing plane Tilt is never a pose. Never a snap. Never a gimmick. 10/ MYTH: Judge’s issues on high FB or outer third prove his hand path is flawed. TRUTH: It’s head position at foot strike. More backside head → more tilt → harder to match high. Less front-side weight → spin off outer third. Movement drives swing outcomes. 11/ MYTH: HLP coaches can diagnose movement. TRUTH: They only see swings. They NEVER see: • center mass • pelvis-led sequencing • lat-driven hand control • ground-force anticipation • force coupling • posture organization They study SWINGS, not MOVEMENT which is why they don’t understand anything happening before foot strike, where every elite movement pattern is actually built. 12/ FINAL TRUTH: Judge is a proximal → distal mover. Every elite hitter is. The only people confused are the ones who don’t understand human movement and interpret the swing through a METHOD instead of biomechanics. They study swings like children watching cartoons, but they do not understand the movement system that PRODUCES the swing.

Penn State sophomore Natalie Lieto. Outside + rise pitches? When the body shuts down early, posture collapses and the swing wraps around the front side. To fix it, we drill walk-throughs, knee-ups, knee-downs, and high-tire work helping her feel flatter on top of the zone and letting the body flow naturally through contact while maintaining posture and direction.

High Pitch Feel (Tire Work) •Shoulder line works downhill → rear elbow slots → barrel on plane. •The tire forces the hitter to hold posture and stay connected, unlike a tee where it’s easy to cheat by dropping hands or rolling over. •Teaches hitters to release the barrel out front with strength and control. •New hitter JulesAmoroso #3 2028 is getting her first dose of high-tire work building the down feel and learning proper shoulder path. Low Pitch Adjustment •Shoulders stay above the ball. •Rear knee drives down and under → creates true tilt and upward barrel path. •The lower the pitch, the more the knee works. Walk-Through Progression •Knee up and stride down with front-foot pressure. •Controls center mass, keeps balance, and prevents collapsing. ✅ Master the high first the low will follow naturally.
